Deathbringer Saurfang in arena is too hard to deal with

5 mana, 4/6 taunt. Easy enough. Unfortunately after you kill him, he gets placed back in your opponent’s hand and costs health. So, you need to somehow

A) Have a pre-turn 6 silence in your arena deck, or

B) Have a Zoo deck that can burn a lot of their health early on, to where they can’t spend 5 health each turn to play him

If you don’t fulfill either of these conditions, they essentially get a free 4/6 taunt that returns to their hand, meanwhile they can build their board behind it. Is there something I’m missing? Because in arena where you can’t really build your deck specifically against this, that’s just an auto loss.

Are you saying that in constructed, people are building decks specifically against this card? Somehow I doubt that…

It’s a lot of value, but that’s far from “auto loss”.

No, I never said that. I implied that in constructed, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal since you have the ability to modify your deck against specific cards/decks. I don’t understand how you gathered that “people are building decks specifically against this card”, but nice assumption.

Also I said if you don’t meet certain conditions by the time they play the card, it is an auto loss. Why cherry-pick 2 of my words out of context?
